WI Petition for Rulemaking – Solar siting rules are needed
December 7th, 2018

There’s a 300MW solar project proposed for southern Wisconsin, in Iowa County. Thing is, as with Minnesota and large wind (PUC denies Reconsideration re: Wind Rulemaking), there are no siting rules for solar in Wisconsin! Really, no rules! Typically thus far, solar projects are 2-10 MW. This one proposed is 300MW! Central station power to put it mildly.
Not only are there no siting rules, but there is no Environmental Impact Statement required for a project covering 3,500 acres!
WHAT?!?!
So on behalf of Jewell Jinkins Intervenors, I’ve just filed this Petition for Rulemaking to get them going on solar rules.

We shall see what, if anything, they do.
